I have a few kits I need to get rid of. Just taking up space. Wildman 3" punisher, mostly built, used rocketpoxy and it's done right. Includes an aero pack retainer and a bunch of 1/4" Kevlar cord $140 shipped OBO Madcow 2.6" fiberglass patriot, bag opened but just to look at the parts $65...

What is the smallest altimeter out there that will fire a charge. looking for another option to fly in my 18mm build so the altimeter must also function on a battery that fits in an 18mm tube. Only needs to fire an apogee charge, dual deploy not necessary, and doesn't necessarily need to be...

I am getting ready to try Future over black tubing for the first time. I want and need a really smooth finish and I am wondering what those who use Future typically apply it with? Also what is the technique? It will be going over a decal if that matters at all. Thanks Chris

This showed up at the office today. Early Christmas present to myself. All the VERY nice parts. I am very impressed with the nosecone. Also picked up the necessary kevlar and an aeropack for the build. I plan to build it and paint it in time for a shakedown flight on a K1440 WT at our...

I would like to trade this VB extreme 54 for a VB extreme 24, if there are any out there. Let me know if interested.

Has anyone built one of these before? If so, mind sharing pictures? I am getting ready to build one and while I'm waiting for my materials to arrive I figured I'd come here for a little inspiration.

Like the title says. I lost mine last launch in a lawn dart when an EXTREME amount of gees killed my av bay package. I will trade my Wildman mini eagle claw I have listed in my other thread if you want, or just cash. Don't need the whole package just transmitter. Thanks Chris

I am selling a few rockets that I bought and most likely wont build or fly as well as a few that I have built and not flown or built and flown a couple times. I will try to ship all that are sold this Friday via UPS. I am just going to guess on the shipping prices, if the prices are lower Ill...

I am running pretty low on laminating epoxy so it's about time to order some more. I am wanting to try a new brand but with so many choices I am not sure where to start. I have used West and Raka so far and I prefer Raka over west except for the fact that it seems Raka has more bubbles in the...

I usually suck at build threads because I forget about them or get sidetracked onto another project part way through so this time I am going to try and do a good job. I received my VB Extreme 54 today which is an OOP kit from back in the 90s??? Anyone know what years these were sold? It is a...

Looking for a Telemini V1. Altimeter alone will work, with battery preferred. I dont need the dongle or charger unless you must sell the whole package. PM if you have one. Thanks Chris

I am in need of some opinions. I am used to mostly building carbon fiber and fiberglass rockets and haven't really built many cardboard/paper rockets in a while. I have decided that while composite rocket kits are very nice and easy to build and fly, they make it all too easy. So I am now going...

Anyone tried dyeing laminating epoxy using the dye included with Rocketpoxy? Anyone know if it will work? Thanks Chris

I have had some west systems for around three years and have not used any in quite a while, I have been using another brand. Now I am running low on that brand and was wondering if the west would still be good? Anyone know how long the stuff is good for? There isn't a lot left but I figured I...

Last holiday season a friend of mine received a plastic star shaped container filled with cookies and other sweets. As soon as I saw the shape of it I knew I had to build a rocket saucer with it. At first I was just going to use the container itself but after thinking on it a few weeks I decided...

Yesterday I flew a DMS J270 White Lightning. About a second into the flight the motor took off through the rocket and went flying around skywriting on its own. At first I couldn't really decide what could have just happened but then it hit ke that the thrust ring must have let go allowing the...

I have been wanting to fly some of the CTI 24mm F motors but didn't really have a rocket for them so this week I built a little rocket perfect for these motors and I will fly it at tomorrow's TCC launch. I am calling it The Speed of Paper since the rocket is made from all paper components that I...

Just like the title says. Anyone have one they want to sell? Thanks Chris

Maybe not EXACTLY related to rocketry but pretty much the only thing I have used it for is making rocket parts so I hope this is ok. I am selling my Sherline mini CNC lathe and accessories. I have owned it for around 3 years but have only run it for maybe 2 hours if that. This is the reason I...

Today at Tripoli Central California's October Skies launch in Helm, CA I flew my rocket The Crow 24 on a Cesaroni G150 Blue Streak to 8796 ft AGL. This is by far the highest I have flown this rocket. This is the eighth revision of this rocket all built and flown over the past three years or so...
